Random IMDB connection error


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to Connect Kurosawa's Dreams through the metadata links:

 

5e1125950f600_ScreenShot20200104at65220P

 

Those are the correct numbers as listed on those sites.  However, after refreshing the metadata, Emby keeps loading this instead:

 

5e1125c030911_ScreenShot20200104at65227P

 

The correct numbers are still listed in the metadata.  It's just bringing up all of the wrong information.  Any suggestions?

Hi, try using the identify feature.

the Identify feature looks pretty identical to fixing the metadata, but I tried it, and the result was:

This is weird because I'm copy and pasting directly from the imdb and themoviedb pages:

What did you enter into the identify form?

The Name, the year, and the two site numbers listed above.  Must be just be some really random data error somewhere.  I used only Imdb and it's connecting fine now.

My guess, you customized your metadata settings for your movie library and now you're paying the price for that. Remember that both the metadata refresh and the Identify dialog incorporate your metadata settings for that library. With the server on default settings, it works perfectly and i get the Dreams title that you mentioned above.

 

If you can provide a server log then I can verify this for you. Thanks.

I'm not sure what customizing I would've done unless it was by accident.  The only time I touch the metadata for individual films is when it connects to the wrong film.  

 

Which log would you need?

Well TMDB list it as TV not Movie so you can not use that id as they are not compatible with Movie Content Types.  I get a proper return from OMDB with IMDB id.

Oh wow.  Didn't even notice that.  This is not a tv show, so there's the error.  Seems someone separated each chapter into an episode?  Wait, so now I took tv out of the web address, and low and behold "Watch Out" popped out as a match.  Themoviedb reuses it's ID's?

Yes ids are reuse in movies and tv on TMDB do to their separation by type.

Is this not the issue with the longer IMDb ID?

A /tv vs /movie query issue as shown in post 9 with id "74864", but the item does not have a IMDB id on TMDB either.
